=2- (+1/-8)+-7/4

=2- (+1/-8)-7/4

=2- -0.125-7/4

=2+0.125-7/4

=2+0.125-1.75

=2.125-1.75

=0.375

Hello!

Note that when seeing an odd number of negatives next to each other, it will remain negative, while having an even number would be positive. For example, -- is +, while --- is -.

Based on this information, we can rewrite the equation below.

2-1/8-7/4

Let's rewrite 7/4 out of 8.

2-1/8-14/8

2-15/8

Let's rewrite 2 as an improper fraction.

16/8-15/8=1/8

Therefore, our answer is 1/8.

Marianne has been collecting donations for her biscuit stall at the school summer fayre. There are some luxury gift tins of bisc
LenaWriter [7]
<span>Answer:

Number of luxury gift tins of biscuits sold at £5 each: 18
Number of normal packets sold at £1 each: 2
Number of mini- packs of 2 biscuits sold at 10p each: 80

Solution:

Number of luxury gift tins of biscuits sold at £5 each: x
Amount received by the number of luxury gift tins of biscuits sold: £5 x Number of normal packets sold at £1 each: y
Amount received by the number of normal packets sold: £1 y
Number of mini- packs of 2 biscuits sold at 10p each: z
Amount received by the number of 2 biscuists sold: 10p z =£0.1z

She tells Amy that she has received exactly 100 donations in total:
(1) x+y+z=100

A collective value of £100:
Total amount receibed: £5 x + £1 y+ £0.1z= £100 → £ (5x+1y+0.1z)= £100 → 5x+y+0.1z=100 (2)

Her stock of £1 packets is very low compared with the other items:
y<<x
y<<z
Then we can despice the value of "y" and solve for "x" and "z":
y=0:
(1) x+y+z=100→x+0+z=100→x+z=100 (3)
(2) 5x+y+0.1z=100→5x+0+0.1z=100→5x+0.1z=100 (4)

Solving the system of equations (3) and (4) using the substitution method:
Isolating z in equation (3): Subtrating x from both sides of the equation:
(3) x+z-z=100-x→z=100-x

Replacing z by 100-x in the equation (4):
(4) 5x+0.1z=100→5x+0.1(100-x)=100
Eliminating the parentheses:
5x+0.1(100)-0.1x=100→5x+10-0.1x=100
Adding similar terms on the left side of the equation:
4.9x+10=100
Solving for x: Subtrating 10 from both sides of the equation:
4.9x+10-10=100-10→4.9x=90
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4.9:
4.9x/4.9=90/4.9→x=18.36734693

Replacing x=18.36734693 in the equation:
z=100-x→z=100-18.36734693→z=81.63265306

We can round x and z: x=18 and z=81 and solve for y in equations (1) and (2):
(1) x+y+z=100→18+y+81=100
Adding similar terms on the left side of the equation:
99+y=100
Subtracting 99 from both sides of the equation:
99+y-99=100-99→y=1

(2) 5x+y+0.1z=100→5(18)+y+0.1(81)=100→90+y+8.1=100→98.1+y=100→98.1+y-98.1=100-98.1→y=1.9→y=2 different to 1

Suppose y=1. Replacing y=2 in equations (1) and (2):
(1) x+y+z=100→x+1+z=100→x+1+z-1=100-1→x+z=99
(2) 5x+y+0.1z=100→5x+1+0.1z=100→5x+1+0.1z-1=100-1→5x+0.1z=99

Repeating the process:
z=99-x
5x+0.1z=99→5x+0.1(99-x)=99→5x+9.9-0.1x=99→4.9x+9.9=99→4.9x+9.9-9.9=99-9.9→4.9x=89.1→4.9x/4.9=89.1/4.9→x=18.18367346
z=99-18.18367346→z=80.81632653
x=18 and z=80
(1) x+y+z=100→18+y+80=100→y+98=100→y+98-98=100-98→y=2
(2) 5x+y+0.1z=100→5(18)+y+0.1(80)=100→90+y+8=100→y+98=100→y+98-98=100-98→y=2

Answer:
Number of luxury gift tins of biscuits sold at £5 each: 18
Number of normal packets sold at £1 each: 2
Number of mini- packs of 2 biscuits sold at 10p each: 80 </span>

Cylinders A and B are similar. The volume of cylinder A is 20mm3. Calculate the volume of cylinder B.
MrRa [10]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Cylinders A and B are similar. The length of the cylinder A is 4 mm and the length of cylinder B is 6 mm. The volume of cylinder A is 20mm3. Calculate the volume of cylinder B.

Answer:

67.5 mm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cylinder A and cylinder B are similar.

Let volume of cylinder A = 20 mm^3

We know the volume of a cylinder is given by V = $\pi r^2 h$

where, r is the radius of the cylinder

            h is the height of the cylinder

We have to find the scale factor.

The length scale factor is = $\frac{6}{4}$

                                          $=\frac{3}{2}$

Area scale factor $=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2$

                           $=\frac{9}{4}$

∴ Volume scale factor $=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^3$

                                     $=\frac{27}{8}$

Therefore, the volume of cylinder B is $=20 \times \frac{27}{8}$

                                                               = 67.5 mm^3
